- In NaCl, the chloride ions occupy a face-centered cubic (FCC) arrangement.
- The interionic distance for cesium chloride crystals can be expressed as a.
Ionic Compounds and Defects
- The maximum distance between cations and anions occurs in LiI.
- Frenkel defects are observed in NaBr, while Schottky defects are linked to ionic compounds in general.
Properties of Alkali Metal Halides
- The color appearance in solid alkali metal halides is commonly due to F-centers.
Magnetism and Ion Ratios
